Question 41 Mark
The cell found in the apical cell keeps dividing throughout its life? So, what are they called?
Answer
The cells found in the apical cell keep dividing throughout their life, hence they are called meristematic tissues.

Question 151 Mark
Define cell cycle.
Answer
The sequence of events in which the cell replicates its genome and synthesises other components and then divides to form two new daughter cells. This is called cell cycle.

Question 171 Mark
Define mitosis. In which cells does this occur?
Answer
The number of chromosomes in the parent and daughter cells is equal, hence it is called mitosis. This division occurs in vegetative cells.

Answer
If the nuclear membrane does not disappear during division then it is called cryptomyelosis.
